Erratum: Gender differences in the inheritance mode of RYR2 mutations in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia patients (PLoS ONE (2015) 10:6 (e0131517) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0131517)

Abstract

In the Abstract, there is an error in the sixth sentence. The correct sentence is: The inheritance of RYR2 mutations was significantly more frequent from mothers (n = 12, 34.3%) than fathers (n = 2, 7.4%) (P = 0.015). In the Origin of the mutations subsection of the Results, there is a similar error in the second sentence of the second paragraph. The correct sentence is: The frequency of mutations originating from mothers was significantly higher than that from fathers (P = 0.015). There are several errors in the Location of mutations subsection of the Results. The correct paragraph is: Among 12 mutations inherited from mothers, seven (58.3%) were located in the N-terminus, while only four (23.5%) from 17 de novo mutations were located in the N-terminus (Table 1). Regarding four de novo N-terminal mutations, three were at residue 169. In contrast, two maternal mutations (16.7%) were located in the central domain and two (16.7%) were located in the C-terminus. One mother carried two mutations in the Central and C-terminus. In the Ages of parents at birth of probands subsection of the Results, the P value of the age difference in fathers between de novo and paternal is incorrectly reported as 0.019. The correct P value is 0.037. There are errors in Table 1 and Table 2. Please see the correct tables here. There are errors in Fig 1 and Fig 3. Please see the correct figures here. (Figure Presented).
